Sardinia named best holiday hotspot for relaxation, culture and entertainment

Sardinia, Italy.

New research finds the holiday destinations with the best balance between culture, relaxation and entertainment. Sardinia crowned the perfectly balanced break for those seeking a bit of everything. Rome is the best option for entertainment and culture, making Italy the only country with two entries in the top ten for balanced breaks.

Holiday time is a well-earned break from the every day, and an opportunity to make precious memories with loved ones. However – whether travelling as a couple or with family – it can sometimes be overwhelming to decide on the perfect destination to match everyone’s holiday ideals. For some, reclining on the beach with a book and lounger service is pure bliss, while for others, exploring ancient ruins or shopping for local gems is top of their wish list.

Bespoke holiday provider, Sovereign, is dedicated to personalising holidays to suit individual needs, and has created an interactive tool to help holidaymakers take the hassle out of finding the perfect destination for them – balancing the needs and wishes of everyone travelling.

The interactive tool is based around a study conducted by Sovereign into the volume of opportunities for experiencing the three main holiday pillars of entertainment, culture and relaxation in popular holiday destinations around the world.

Covering everything from national landmarks to zoos, and water sports to spas, it’s a quick and easy way for travellers to choose their next holiday destination.

Top 5 Balanced Breaks

While the interactive tool allows users to filter by the metrics which are personally important to them, it also highlights the destinations offering the overall greatest holiday balance:

  • Sardinia, Italy – Sardinia's best features are its numerous white sand beaches. Those pursuing a more cultural experience can, however, look towards the Nuragic ruins, and those with a bit more energy can dive down to the shipwrecks just off Cagliari's coast.
  • Rome, Italy – The city is sprinkled with remnants of the ancient Roman architecture as well as numerous parks and quiet spots to simply lay back. It also fills out with buzzing bars and restaurants during the evenings.
  • The Dominican Republic – While you might think of it as just a beach location, with a range of different geographical features across the entirety of the Dominican Republic, there are long hikes for explorers, soft waves for surfers, and shady bays once occupied by pirates.
  • Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Dubai includes the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and vast shopping centres, featuring further entertainment from aquariums to ski slopes. At night, the city offers extravagant beach clubs and bright lights in luxury hotels.
  • Crete, Greece – Hot, sunny, and formerly home to the labyrinth with its minotaur, Crete is also great for local food in the tavernas or gentle strolls among snowy mountains.

Helen Adamson, Sovereign Brand & Commercial Director, comments: “It can sometimes be difficult to agree on the perfect holiday destination when you’re not travelling alone. Everyone has their own preferences, which is why it’s helpful to be pointed towards the top destinations that really do offer something for everyone. After all, a holiday should be the most enjoyable and well-deserved experience for each holidaymaker, from start to finish.”
